Never to the dark side Posted September 9, 2022 Report Share Posted September 9, 2022 This is a nice story about train travel,and the reason I would advise never book with train line unless its a FREE ticket. https://www.gazettelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/middlesbrough-fans-train-tickets-blackpool-24977033?utm_source=teesside_live_newsletter&utm_campaign=boro_fc_newsletter2&utm_medium=email Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeez Posted September 9, 2022 Report Share Posted September 9, 2022 Trainline is soo much cheaper & tickets delivered to your phone. 10 x better than national rail. It’s like complaining about Ryanair, you know what you’re getting, Great when its good, terrible when it’s bad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BTRFTG Posted September 9, 2022 Report Share Posted September 9, 2022 (edited) Trainline agreed to refund all our split tickets for the planned strike date games without a quibble, even though they didnt have to (yet). Did so politely & quickly via a quick mail to their help desk. I've had far greater problems in getting refunds for cancelled and delayed trains from GWR, who for some reason always get the value of the refund owing wrong yet strangely always in their favour.

Sir Geoff Posted September 9, 2022 Report Share Posted September 9, 2022 I never buy from Trainline V GWR because of the booking fee they charge. Used splitticketing, for the first time, to buy tickets to Birmingham next month so will be interested in how that goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would bet that due to the TOCs of the tickets bought they probably didn't stand to get a refund (as per any site) but due to the scenario they have been given a voucher instead I'm going to London next week, the site saved me over £70 Never had an issue and use it much more than user friendly and cheaper fares than the GWR site Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In case not aware, there is no booking fee on Trainline if you buy on the day of travel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
